P10M reward offered for info on Quiboloy —Abalos

A reward worth P10 million is being offered for any information that will lead to the arrest of Pastor Apollo Quiboloy, Interior and Local Government Secretary Benhur Abalos said Monday. 

“Gusto ko pong i-anunsyo sa mga nanunuod at nakikinig na meron tayong mga kaibigang gustong tumulong sa paghahanap sa kanila at nag-ooffer ng reward ng P10 million for any information leading to the arrest of Pastor Quiboloy,” Abalos said in a press conference. 

Aside from Quiboloy, who is the leader of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KOJC) church, P1 million each is also offered for the other five co-accused, Abalos added.

Arrest warrants were issued against Quiboloy and others for alleged violation of Republic Act 7610 or the Special Protection of Children Against Abuse, Exploitation, and Discrimination Act and Republic Act No. 9208 or Qualified Human Trafficking.

GMA News Online sought comment from Quiboloy’s lawyer Atty. Ferdinand Topacio about the matter but he has yet to provide a statement as of posting time.

Quiboloy went into hiding shortly after the Senate issued an arrest order against him for refusing to attend the chamber's hearings.

The police raided several properties owned by KOJC in Davao City, Samal Island, and Sarangani to serve the arrest warrants to the controversial televangelist but to no avail.

Quiboloy has also been indicted by a federal grand jury in the US District Court for the Central District of California for conspiracy to engage in sex trafficking by force, fraud and coercion and sex trafficking of children; sex trafficking by force, fraud and coercion; conspiracy; and bulk cash smuggling.

In 2022, the US Federal Bureau of Investigation also issued “wanted” posters for Quiboloy and two other members of his KOJC, namely Teresita Tolibas Dandan and Helen Panilag.—AOL, GMA Integrated News
